You are saying that there exists a segment of the college student population that will spend 100$ on a scientific calculator but does not own a smartphone?

- qz2 6y agoYes. Plenty. Also not many people pay $100. There’s a thriving second hand market for much less. When the TI83 was the calculator I’d actually buy 100 or so for low price at start of summer (large surplus), spend two weeks clean and refurb and then sell them again for 3x the amount at the end (high demand)

- joshuaissac 6y agoIn the UK, Poundland sells a scientific calculator for £1 ($1.30). It does not have advanced functionality (like graphing, programming, automatic factoring by surds and irrationals like pi, etc.) that higher-end models do, but it should be enough for most contexts.
